# Archaeology
The stunning archaeology uncovered by a railway project in Britain: From carved figurines to coins, skeletons, and even entire settlements, the railway has opened up a new golden age of archaeology. When the HS2 railway was first announced, a lot of people were understandably thrilled.

Archaeologists stunned by 2,900-year-old steel tools in Portugal: Analyses of a 2,900-year-old iron chisel from Portugal revealed surprisingly high-quality steel. Steel tools were believed to have only become widespread in Europe during the Roman Empire, but a recent study shows that steel tools were already in use in Europe around 2,900 years ago, during the Final Bronze Age.

Archeologists Call Ancient Statue One Of The Most Important Discoveries Ever: Archaeologists have found a 26-foot statue submerged in ground water in a Cairo slum that the Antiquities Ministry has hailed as one of the most important discoveries ever. Experts say it probably depicts revered Pharaoh Ramses II, who ruled Egypt more than 3,000 years ago. The sun temple in Heliopolis was founded by Ramses II, lending weight to the likelihood the statue is of him.

A bull’s eye for Archaeology’: 4,000-year-old arrow found in Norway’s melting ice: The arrow was broken at both ends making it challenging to date. Initially, archaeologists thought it was from the Iron Age, but when conservators removed the glacial silt, they exposed the hafted end where the arrowhead was embedded. The dimensions and shape indicated the arrowhead was a flint projectile and dated to the Stone Age.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
Eagle Pass and El Paso are struggling to find shelter for the new arrivals of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border as immigration officials process and release many of the migrants into border cities. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which processes people and vehicular traffic at ports of entry, said in a statement that it temporarily closed one of the three international bridges to traffic so agents could help Border Patrol process hundreds of migrants, many of whom were being held under one of the bridges connecting Eagle Pass and Mexico.

White House Authorizes $600 Million for New Covid Tests: Amid a surge of new Covid-19 cases around the U.S. in recent weeks, the Biden administration is spending $600 million to produce another round of at-home tests, which will be available for free through the mail starting on September 25. Households can order as many as four tests each using the website (COVIDTests.gov) that was first deployed in January 2022.

Ukraine SUICIDE “to Destroy every Russian”: Massacre of the People in General Mobilization and Forced Recruitment (video). The armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia has lasted for more than eighteen months. In this time, we have heard so many reports of casualties on both sides, and they have varied so much that it is simply futile to try to get to the truth and find out which figures are even slightly closer to the truth.

Is Lavrov’s Claim that America is at War with Russia an ‘Exaggeration’? The Russian Foreign Minister said that the US is waging war against Russia: Since the start of Russia’s special military operation (SMO) against NATO’s crawling encroachment on its borders, the United States has been adamant that it’s “not a party to the conflict” and that it supposedly “doesn’t want escalation with Moscow”. However, time proved both of these statements to be patently false.

War in the Caucasus: Azerbaijan Attacks Armenian Enclave: Two days ago, a massive Azeri army attacked the Armenian enclave in Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan has renewed efforts to regain control of Nagorno-Karabkh, a disputed enclave with a majority ethnic Armenian population and a decades-long source of conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

The Economic Collapse of China Should Serve as a Warning to the US: Just as Ebenezer Scrooge was shown his future, enabling him to change his ways, America is seeing its own future in China’s ongoing economic collapse.

Zelensky’s back in Washington asking for more US tax dollars, Rand Paul has a message for him: As Congress struggles to work out a continuing resolution before a government shutdown at the end of the month, Senator Rand Paul has vowed that he will not allow more US spending on Ukraine to be a part of any such plan.

House GOP Denies Zelensky’s Request to Speak to American People in Joint Session of Congress: “Do not be deceived by, Ukraine is corrupt: “They’ve canceled the elections.

US Could Send ‘Mini-Nukes’ to Ukraine: The US could be close to escalating the Ukrainian conflict to unprecedented levels of violence. Pushed by Kyiv’s weak attacks, the U.S. is expected to send mini-nukes to Ukraine. The U.S. is reportedly mulling providing Kyiv with long-range cruise missiles. The move seems to ignore repeated Russian warnings about escalatory dangers linked to the delivery.

Rupert Murdoch’s Retirement Has Fox Insiders Stunned: “I Never Thought He’d Do It”: The 92-year-old’s abrupt announcement is fueling speculation about his health, which Murdoch says is “robust,” a yet-unknown scandal, or whether another 2020-election lawsuit might have triggered the move. “This takes him out of the line of fire,” says one media executive.

What Happens During a Government Shutdown? The effects of a shutdown are complicated. A shutdown would not affect the mandatory programs that receive their appropriation outside the annual funding process—such as Medicare, Social Security, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). But it would immediately halt certain programs and put other programs at risk if it lasted long enough.

Budget Follies, The Endgame: Expect the government to shut down, McCarthy to lose his Speakership, and some renegade Republicans to eventually support a discharge petition.

Secrets of the CIA. Five courageous former CIA agents reveal deep secrets of the CIA (45 min): In this riveting exposé, five former CIA agents describe how their initial pride and enthusiasm at serving their nation turned to anguish and remorse, as they realized they were actually subverting democracy and killing innocent civilians in the name ‘national security’ and promoting secret foreign policy agendas. The above-mentioned testimony is from 1975. With the ensuing leaps in technological capability, imagine what kinds of secret weapons for assassination have been developed since.

Half a million people, including kids, mistakenly dropped from Medicaid: CMS announcement comes as states review program eligibility for the first time in three years. Twenty-nine states and Washington, D.C., were erroneously reviewing eligibility for Medicaid at the family level instead of on an individual basis, the agency said. That means thousands of people, including children, were deemed ineligible for the low-income insurance program when they should have been automatically reenrolled.
